Dean's spooky little smile at the end of the debate--what gives?

[cryofan]

Did anyone else catch Dean's expression as he finished his closing statement at the end of the debate? Part of his success derives from his speaking patterns, diction, and expressions when speaking publicly. You could see that as he finished his closing speech.

His diction during his closing was quite unlike that of the other candidates, which employed more or less standard politician diction. Dean's diction was like someone talking to a friend; or maybe it was more like a really good salesman. He slowed down, and spoke in a different pitch/register than the others.

Then he gave this spooky smile. Very personal. Flirty. Almost seductive in its character. Strange.....

Of course, my position on him as a politician is unchanged: he is basically a liar and a fraud (see www.mylinuxisp.com/~cryofan/dean.html for evidence of that).

But I would wager that his success in this campaign will cause some change politcal stump speaking.

1. Your fear and desperation

is palpable. And it very well should be.


This should be locked for the "liar" and "fraud" inflammatory language.

[Closer]

10. Spooky?

Did you say sPoOkY

[ozone_man]

40. Warn me when you do that.

Brrrr, chilly.

[killbotfactory]

3. He was trying to kill you with his mind...

I think he was the devil's bastard child, so that would explain it.

4. Yea reminds me of a cult...begin programming

eom

[TexasSissy]

5. Yes, it was creepy. I mentioned that in a post earlier.

And it was so put-on and, well, enough adjectives.

[patricia92243]

6. "Spooky"?? is in the eye of the beholder - and I did not behold anything

even close to spooky" I think his smile is adorable - it is one of the great things about him - a warm, confident, friendly smile is alway a good thing to have.

[JVS]

7. He's just thinking about how much fun it will be when you are sent to...

Alaska for reeducation.

Bwuahaahahhahahahahahahahaha

8. Repeat after me....The Lord is my Shepherd. I shall not want.....

[RetroLounge]

9. Whatever...

Personal? Flirty? Seductive?

Dude, you need to get out more...

[maddezmom]

14. LOL

didn't really notice seductive at all, just a smile to end his closing remarks.

[JVS]

15. Dean's got the Kavorka

[TexasSissy]

20. I've got a Subaru, myself.

[TexasSissy]

19. LOL LOL!

11. Blast from past: "FDR's friendly fireside chats brainwashed nation into...

electing him four times in a row" Who knows how long it would have been had he not died in 1945?

[HFishbine]

12. Liar and Fraud?

Why don't you link to the complete article, which is at Internationalist Socialist Review?

[Metrix]

13. I saw a spooky look at the beginning

When he was introduced and the cameras were on him. There was one at the end too? I was trying not to look at Dean by that time.

Expression of his narcissicism and his weakness.

[NoPasaran]

16. Just thinking of how yummy

The kittens are going to be?

[Duder]

17. Maybe he was trying to comfort this lady:

"That Kucinich guy, he's kind of scary," she said.

18. He wants to eat your children

Yep, it's true. Dean and the Crocodile Hunter guy are charter members of a new Satanic cult. Now, the right-wing Satanists call the new cult a radical-liberal Satanic cult, while the left-wing Satanic cults call the new cult a wishy-washy moderate Satanic cult. With me so far? Good.

Do you remember the "you have the power" speech that's been talked about so much? That was actually an incantation gone wrong. It was supposed to bring a host of demonic beasts from the 9th circle of Hell and start a black mass right there in the auditorium. Something in the wording was wrong. He murdered 3 staffers for that one. Oh yeah, he was in an evil rage, let me tell ya.

Should I go on?

[spooky3]

21. What's wrong with being spooky?

[Lisa0825]

22. LOL! If he's spooky and you're spooky, then I guess I like spookiness:-)

[maddezmom]

23. hehehe

:) nothing is wrong with being spooky, spooky!

[spooky3]

26. :-) thanks Lisa and Maddez!

24. Why the hell is this important? n/t

32. d-e-s-p-a-r-a-t-i-o-n

[Cheswick2.0]

25. I heard he was laughing at you personally

ooooooooooooooooo spooky

[cindyw]

27. Dean's closing statement sounded like a rehearsed commercial.

I almost wondered if he had someone with a camera there for a commercial. It was anything, but personal. Very staged looking.

[adadem]

30. I thought

the exact same thing! I have really been trying to overlook what I see as faults and find something about him to find acceptable...just so I'd be able to vote for him if I need to in the GE. Aint' happening...that smirk at the end with the "robin red breast" stance just turned me off more.

[cindyw]

31. Does he remind you of anyone?

Big problem when "smirk" fits our candidate. What will we do with Smirkingchimp.com? It won't work anymore.

[Scott Lee]

34. And if he'd been "unrehearsed",

he'd be bashed for being unsure of himself.

Yawn.

[JVS]

41. There is no pleasing some people

[chocolateeater]

28. He's thinking about his past

in the movies.

29. Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

You're kidding, right? If not, then you need to step back and take stock of yourself. You're an embarrassment to your candidate.

Spooky little smile, for fuck's sake. Get help.

[cryofan]

33. OK, I will revise the description of the smile

Maybe I should have said it was a personal smile, with conspiratorial undertones.

[molly]

35. LOL!

[Jacobin]

36. OMG!!!!!!! You've" found out!!!

Dean, as you must now have guessed from that curious "smile", is actually an alien being sent here from the planet Splamordia revolving around the brightest star in the Andromeda constellation. (His alien proboscis was coming unraveled from the plastic sheets covering it up....thus the "weird smile")

His mission is to subjugate the world, and allow his minions circling in invisible spaceships to land in Area 51 (or is it 52?) and infect earthlings with a special protoplasm that will convert all human beings into drooling idiots, who can then be used as sex slaves for the Splamordians who are well known perverts. (I can't describe their perversions....against DU regs).

As a Dean supporter, I would ask that you please let this thread sink so others won't learn of your discovery.

Thanks!!

[farmbo]

38. Must...re-program..Cryofan...before he reports invasion force...

He has used his superior powers of observation to discover the Howard Dean creature's facial manipulation device for use in disabling Earth political creatures...

He... must... be...destroyed!

:crazy:

[curse10]

37. Seductive? Flirty? LMAO

I respectfully disagree with that one. Creepy? Definately.

[Closer]

39. And I'm

definitely (with an i) glad the mods DIDN'T lock this post after all. How fun it turned out to be.

[Rose Siding]

43. Unbelievable

Is it just jr hi cut ups, or are there adults actually this committed to de-humanizing the likely Democratic opposition to gee dub? What would be the motive for that?

If this were the lounge *maybe* it would be appropriate to blow off the frustration of backing losing candidates but it's just pitiful to see.

[JVS]

44. No, don't have them ruin the lounge

[mzmolly]

42. Wow thanks for sharing your ingenious thoughts in such a respectful manner
